| Shared driver code for IEEE 802.11b wireless cards based on |
| Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. This driver supports so called |
| Host AP mode that allows the card to act as an IEEE 802.11 |
| access point. |
| |
| See <http://hostap.epitest.fi/> for more information about the |
| Host AP driver configuration and tools. This site includes |
| information and tools (hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for WPA/WPA2 |
| support. |
| |
| This option includes the base Host AP driver code that is shared by |
| different hardware models. You will also need to enable support for |
| PLX/PCI/CS version of the driver to actually use the driver. |
| |
| The driver can be compiled as a module and it will be called |
| hostap. |

| help |
| Configure Host AP driver to include support for firmware image |
| download. This option by itself only enables downloading to the |
| volatile memory, i.e. the card RAM. This option is required to |
| support cards that don't have firmware in flash, such as D-Link |
| DWL-520 rev E and D-Link DWL-650 rev P. |
| |
| Firmware image downloading needs a user space tool, prism2_srec. |
| It is available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/. |

| help |
| Allow Host AP driver to write firmware images to the non-volatile |
| card memory, i.e. flash memory that survives power cycling. |
| Enable this option if you want to be able to change card firmware |
| permanently. |
